To ask less of the planet, we ask more of ourselves.

We strive to create products that are the best in the world and the best for the world. And we continue to make progress toward our environmental priorities. Like powering all Apple facilities worldwide with 100 percent renewable energy. Creating the next innovation in recycling with Daisy, our newest disassembly robot. And leading the industry in making our materials safer for people and for the earth. In every product we make, in every innovation we create, our goal is to leave the planet better than we found it.

Climate Change We’ve reached a goal. But we’re far from finished.

We proved that 100 percent renewable is 100 percent doable. All our facilities worldwide — including offices, retail stores, and data centers — are now powered entirely by clean energy. But this is just the beginning of how we’re reducing our greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change. We go further than most companies in measuring our entire carbon footprint, including manufacturing and product use. And we’re making great progress in those areas, too.

Our supplier Ibiden has one of the largest floating solar projects in the world.

Resources Making the most of using the least.

We’re always thinking of ways to use fewer of the earth’s precious resources and ways to use them again. Like recovering more of the high-quality materials in your old devices to make new products. Through more efficient recycling technologies and other innovations, we hope that one day we can stop mining the earth altogether.

Meet Daisy, our newest disassembly robot, which can recover more of the valuable materials stored in old devices.

We design for durability, so our products are better for the customer and for the environment.

In our Reliability Testing Lab, one of the tests uses a weighted pendulum that simulates a swinging arm hitting Apple Watch against a hard object.

In 2017, 22 supplier facilities were certified as Zero Waste,1 including all our iPhone final assembly sites.

Plastic liners from films that protect iPhone are recycled into trays for use in a later phase of production.

100% of the paper in our packaging is recycled or responsibly sourced.

In 2017, our U.S. product packaging used on average 29 percent less plastic than in 2016.

Safer Materials Safer for people. And for the planet.

We lead the industry in reducing or eliminating the harmful substances commonly used in electronics. Through our rigorous process of design, testing, and analysis, we’re constantly evolving our products and how we make them. So the materials we use are safer for the environment, the people who make our products, and the people who use them.
